• Unexpected error "the result of the concatenation of string is too long."

  Hello
  
  I use the Oracle 11.2.0 database.
  
  When querying my database with a common table expression that concatenates strings VARCHAR2, I get an error ORA-01489 even if I suspect that I am concatenating more 4000 characters.
  
  To be more precise, I have a table entity which basically stores the XML elements, including their parent element and their position of brother among his brothers and sisters. The CREATE statement for this table is listed below.
  
  CREATE TABLE (entity
  ID NUMBER (10,0) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  Name VARCHAR2 (100) NOT NULL,
  Parent NUMBER (10,0) REFERENCES Entity (ID),
  Sibling_Pos NUMBER (2.0) DEFAULT 0
  )
  ;
  
  Now, I would like for all items to be concatenated with their ancestors elements to a structure as follows:
  
  "(/ root_element(sibling_pos)/.../ancestor_element(sibling_pos)/parent_element(sibling_pos)/current_element(sibling_pos).
  (where root_element, ancestor_element, parent_element and current_element are fair values in the name column of the table of the entity)
  
  To do this, I use a common table expression that concatenates the values of name and sibling_pos as shown below:
  
  WITH entity_cte (lvl, id, path) as)
  SELECT 1 AS lvl, id, ' / '. name | ' (0' | sibling_pos |) ')' IN the path
  OF the entity
  WHERE parent IS NULL
  UNION () ALL THE
  SELECT lvl + 1 lvl, e.id, entity_cte.path | '/' || e.Name | ' (': cast (e.sibling_pos AS VARCHAR2 (2)) |) ')' IN the path
  Of entity_cte, e entity
  WHERE entity_cte.id = e.parent
  )
  )
  SELECT lvl, id, path
  Of e entity_cte
  ;
  
  After the insertion of certain values, I get the error ORA-01489, the result of concatenating string is too long. The maximum is called as 4,000 characters for VARCHAR2 in the oracle documentation and various Web sites. Of course, it is clear to me just by using the common table like that expression, I could run in such an error. However, because of the structure of XML documents, I doubted that channels resulting would be since a long time more than 4000 characters.
  
  So I reorganized my query to count the characters to concatenate instead of actually concatenate. The query is listed below, that the changes are marked in "BOLD":
  
  WITH entity_cte (lvl, id, path) as)
  SELECT 1 lvl, id, length ('/ ' | name |)  ' (0' | sibling_pos |) ') IN the path
  OF the entity
  WHERE parent IS NULL
  UNION () ALL THE
  SELECT lvl 1 lvl, e.id, AS entity_cte.path + length ('/ ' | e.name |) ' (': cast (e.sibling_pos AS VARCHAR2 (2)) |) ') IN the path
  Of entity_cte, e entity
  WHERE entity_cte.id = e.parent
  )
  )
  SELECT lvl, id, path
  Of e entity_cte
  Way to ORDER BY DESC
  ;
  
  The result of the query gives me a maximum length of 319 characters.
  
  To be sure, I also checked the maximum level (indicated by the column named lvl in the common table expression), which means that the maximum number of items in my way (the concatenated string). The result is 18. As I use VARCHAR2 (100) for the name column and add 5 charcaters in each level, the maximum number of characters expected to 18 levels would be 1890.
  
  So, now I wonder is the ORA-01489 may have triggered another reason? Or is there something else I'm missing?
  Any help would be appreciated. Other suggestions to track down the error are more than welcome. Thanks in advance.

  I found by trial and error that launch the query anchor seems to work, but I don't know why, then you can try this.

  with entity_cte (lvl, id, path)
  as
      (
      select
          1 lvl,
          id,
          cast('/' || name || '(0' || sibling_pos || ')' as varchar2(4000))  path
      from
          entity
      where
          parent is null
      union all
      select
          lvl + 1 lvl,
          e.id,
          entity_cte.path || '/' || e.name || '(' || cast(e.sibling_pos as varchar2(2)) || ')' path
      from
          entity_cte,
          entity e
      where
          entity_cte.id = e.parent
      )
  select lvl, id, path
  from entity_cte e
  ;

• When I click on address book I no longer get the slot to insert a name, instead a long list of names/addresses

  I sent this way new emails (not responses): click on address book. Place comes the space to insert a name. I do, find the name (among some close to it), select it and then click on "write". The result is an email address, which I proceed to write and send. But since there is one day, when I click on the address book, what appears is a long list of names and email addresses. It fills most of the screen of the iMac. And there is no space to insert a name.
  Without doubt, I did something stupid to get there. What have I done? And how I turn the tide?
  Thank you.
  Arthur

  This isn't answering your question on what is wrong.

  I think that the address book is a pretty lame place to start.

  Click on write or reply or forward and window of writing messages appears. pre-populated with the text of the previous message if it is a reply or forward.

  If you select the To: box and start typing, it will feature names in the address book corresponding to what you typed.

  If you really prefer to choose from a list, you can open a Contacts Sidebar which lists one of your address books. There are buttons to add Contacts selected to your message. You can drag and drop and use right click too. On a PC, F9 opens this sidebar, or you can use alt + v to get the view menu and choose the Contacts Sidebar in the submenu. I don't know how much it works on Mac.

  It is so easy to add multiple addresses. You can set them as Cc or BCC.

  Your method allows you to send a new message, but does not support the answer or transfer. It penetrates into all recipients regarding: and you have to change one by one, if that is not appropriate.

  You see why I think that the address book is a bad place to start from?

  If this alternative approach does not work then I suggest that corrupted address book. You have a recent backup to restore from?

• Select the string table drop-down list box.

  Hi all

  I want to select the combo box list based on a string in the entry, I don't know how to do this. I have a drop-down list box and the value comes from a database, what I want to do is I want to change the value of the selected box based on the existing value in the database drop-down list. for example, A, B, C D I strings in the drop-down list box, and then in my database, I have a field with the string C, I want to change the C to A. I can't enter the value of C in a string format, but I don't know how to be the first position of the drop-down list box in so the order of channels combo box will be C, A, B, d., the value of C

  Thank you

  Then just write a new array of strings, with the elements of the new agenda, to the "[] strings" - property.

  Either you must code something that allows you to create an array of strings with the elements in the order that you want them to be. If there is a reorganization only, you could do something like:

  -Get the array of strings [] from the drop-down list using a property node box.

  -Find the position of the element you want to place first and use "delete from table", which returns the new array and the element removed.

  -Build a new table 1 d of the deleted item and table remaining. Move to the second combobox Strings [] property of a node property.

• Aspire 5741z-5433 stops down whenever I play music from my music list

  the cat

  My acer aspire 5741z-5433 stops down whenever I play music from my music list. Question is not serious this player I use. All I can do to remedy this problem. I listen to music all the time and just, it started doing this. Plays a song maybe two before his stop. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  It would be the result if you wouldn't touch the keyboard or mouse while playing music and you had the PC in PowerSaver feeding plan.  The PC stop after the interval specified in your diet plan.

  Is this the case?

  The simplest solution is to use the management of the diet instead.

  I sometimes use PowerSaver while playing music so that it goes to sleep after the music is over.  So that it can stay on for as long as the music is playing, I had to change the power plan PowerSaver using the powercfg.exe utility.

  Hello

  ORA-01489 is one of these error messages that really means what he says. The error message you posted pretty much sums up the situation.

  What version of Oracle are you using?  (You must still include this whenever you have a question.  See the FAQ forum: Re: 2. How can I ask a question on the forums? )

  From 12.1 of the Oracle, there is an option to allow VARCHAR2s in SQL to be as big as 32767octets.  (The default is 4000).

  Otherwise, if you can't change the code, either do not run. or ensure that the concerned channels are quite short so the error does not occur.

• Literal string is too long and too small string buffer

  Hello

  Can someone please explain what the difference is between these two errors.

  The maximum size of the character in SQL is 4000 and PL/SQL its 32 k. So if a string literal exceeds this limit "string literal too long" error message is triggered by oracle.

  Here is an example

  SQL> select 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    2  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    3  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  ORA-19011: character string buffer too small

  Cause : the result of the chain asked is too big to go back

  Action : get the result like a lob instead

  ORA-01704: string literal too long

  Cause : the string literal is longer than 4000 characters.

  Action : use a string literal of more than 4,000 characters. Longer values can only be entered using bind variables.

  PLS-01905: character string buffer too small

  Cause : an error occurred while moving a string from a source to a destination. This error occurs if, for example, an attempt is made to move an a string of 10 characters into a buffer of 1 character. The cause of this error may not always be obvious. For example, the following will cause this error: a varchar2 (1); b the number; b: = 10; a: = b; An error occurs because an implicit conversion causes the number 10 to become the string '10', which does not fit in memory buffer of characters of 1 assigned to the variable.

  Action : first, look for the character string assignment statements where the size of the buffer is incompatible. If there is none found, then consider the case of an implicit conversion shown in the example above.

  PLS-00172: string literal too long

  Cause : the string literal is longer than 32767octets.

  Action : use a string literal of at most 32767octets.

  Tim Hall has a page on the various techniques of aggregation of chain that guides you through an example of creating and using a user-defined aggregate.

  On AskTom referenced by Tim page, there is an implementation of an aggregation function of string that returns a CLOB that you can use.

  If you want to understand what makes the user-defined aggregate function, it may look a bit complex, especially if you have never looked at object types in PL/SQL. You don't need to understand all the details of the implementation if you use just the code, however, you can simply create the function and use it as you would with any other aggregate function.

  Yes, if the binding variable is declared as a clob, so it can store the maximum size of the CLOB, but this isn't your problem.
  Your problem is that you set the clob data using a string literal that is a single quoted string. There is a limit to the size of the string literals, so you will have to accumulate the clob in adding a whole lot string literals instead.
